Designer Fashion Online–The Top Ten Places to Shop this Spring

Shopping for designer clothes and accessories online can be daunting – by virtue of the fact that there’s just so much to choose from. Take into account the sheer amount of information, that every brand is represented online and if you have a favourite designer their full collection can most likely be viewed over up to six online boutiques, then you can spend an age just browsing without really getting anywhere.

The best places to shop online for designer fashion are those who have produced their websites with you in mind, inevitably, and who offer a shopping experience that can be as fast or slow as you want. You can sit down with a cuppa, read the trend report, browse the lookbook and seek advice from the ‘wardrobe experts/personal shoppers’. Alternatively, for those more time poor, you can go directly to the category or designer of your choice and bag your new dress, handbag, pair of shoes or earrings in less than a minute and in all probability have it delivered to your door the following day.

Then again I’m looking for fashion websites that are not just beautifully designed, but who also offer a seriously good range, of designers, products across all categories and prices, as although I may be after that McQueen dress this may just not be the moment, and I’ll settle for the treat of a J Crew t-shirt instead for the time being.

Speaking of treats and moving on to gifts, all these designer fashion emporiums know full well that every girl likes a new pair of shoes, a pair of earrings or a beautifully embellished new season’s bag, particularly if it’s a gift, so they offer high quality gift wrapping services to take the pain out of gift shopping – we’re more and more time poor, if not cash rich, and this can solve numerous gifting problems. A beautifully wrapped gift from any of these places will bring a smile of anticipation.

So here are my favourite 10 places to shop for designer fashion and accessories online;
